 Have any of you any knowledge of this DB:  Vista version 
 3.64?  And if so is there a product to let you back it up 
 live by through TSM?

From: Joshua S. Bassi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 I have not run into this database.  Typically what most 
 customers do when the application doesn't support hot 
 backups, which this one does not, is to have TSM bring down 
 the application with a prescheduled command and then start it 
 back up with a post-scheduled commands.

...or you can use an open file manager like St. Bernard's OFM to get
valid backups from almost any open file. (I'm not financially associated
with St. Bernard--just a satisfied reseller.)

Hi,

Have any of you any knowledge of this DB:  Vista version 3.64?  And if
so is there a product to let you back it up live by through TSM?

Can't seem to find much info on this software...

Thanks for the help!

If you're adventurous, have time, and the db package has an API,
you could roll your own TDP to do the deed, using that API in
conjunction with the TSM API, your software in between, doing
the heave-ho.  Then you could market it and live in luxury.
